He says, in part he goes on to say that any one of the actors in the commercial could be a native jamaica because the country is so diverse. Volkswagen has no plans to pull the commercial. Speaking of the super bowl, with just a couple of days away from the big game between the ravens and the 49ers new orleans has really come a long way since the devastation of Hurricane Katrina Hurricane Katrina.
